A simple form of machine self-replication. A self-replicating machine is a type of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously using raw materials found in the environment, thus exhibiting self-replication in a way analogous to that found in nature.
Two u-CAT robots that are being developed at the Tallinn University of Technology to reduce the cost of underwater archaeological operations. Bio-inspired robotic locomotion is a subcategory of bio-inspired design. It is about learning concepts from nature and applying them to the design of real-world engineered systems.
EcoBot or Eco-Bot is short for ecological robot, and it refers to a class of robots that can remain self-sustainable by collecting their energy from material, mostly waste matter, in the environment. The only by-product from this process is carbon dioxide , which would have been produced from the natural biodegradation of the fuel regardless.
Biorobotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines the fields of biomedical engineering, cybernetics, and robotics to develop new technologies that integrate biology with mechanical systems to develop more efficient communication, alter genetic information, and create machines that imitate biological systems.
Robot Shalu is a homemade social and educational humanoid robot [1] [2] developed by Dinesh Kunwar Patel, [3] [4] an Indian Kendriya Vidyalaya Computer Science teacher from Mumbai. [5] [6] It was built using waste materials [7] [8] and can speak 47 languages, including 9 Indian and 38 foreign languages.
In a study published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, scientists found that the glue performed 10 times better than other commercial adhesives when used to bond polished aluminum.
He had found that cats had a system of reflecting cells, known as tapetum lucidum, which was capable of reflecting the tiniest bit of light. Leonardo da Vinci's flying machines and ships are early examples of drawing from nature in engineering. Resilin is a replacement for rubber that has been created by studying the material also found in ...
[citation needed] These nano-robot swarms, both those unable to replicate (as in utility fog) and those able to replicate unconstrained in the natural environment (as in grey goo and synthetic biology), are found in many science fiction stories, such as the Borg nano-probes in Star Trek and The Outer Limits episode "The New Breed".
